Iraq declares war with Islamic State is over
Iraq has announced that its war against so-called Islamic State is over.
Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi told a conference in Baghdad that Iraqi troops were now in complete control of the Iraqi-Syrian border.
The border zone contained the last few areas IS held, following its loss of the town of Rawa in November.
The Iraqi announcement comes two days after the Russian military declared it had accomplished its mission of defeating IS in neighbouring Syria.

Women take to streets to demand end to South Sudan war
They marched in silence, yet their message was loud and clear.
Hundreds of women covered their mouths with tape on Saturday as they took to the streets in South Sudan's capital, Juba, to demand an end to their country's war and the suffering of its people.
Carrying posters and signs that read "Bring back our peace now!", "Save my future, stop the war" and "Enough of the bloodshed", women of all ages expressed their anger at a conflict now entering its fifth year.
"We, the women of South Sudan, have decided that we have had enough of this. This war has been going on for a long time," a demonstrator said after briefly removing the piece of white tape from her mouth.
"Women continue to be raped and killed; they don't have access to their homes; and there is no humanitarian access for people in need," she told Al Jazeera.
"We are tired and fed up of this, and we want our leadership to understand that this is their final chance to bring peace to this country."

UK snow: Ice could add to travel disruption as temperatures drop
Weather warnings are still in place in large parts of the UK, amid concern that icy conditions could cause travel delays and "cut off" some rural areas.
The Met Office said snow showers would continue to affect parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, northern England and parts of the Midlands.
A few centimetres of snow is likely but up to 20cm is possible in some areas.
There are yellow "be aware" warnings for parts of the country, with an amber "be prepared" alert in place on Sunday.
The Midlands, Wales, northern and eastern England and the far north of Scotland are most likely to have heavy snow early on Sunday morning.
According to BBC Weather, a 10cm spread of snow will initially mount in the Midlands and eastern England, before gradually becoming lighter and patchier throughout the day and into Sunday evening.

Arrest of Rio drug kingpin brings fear of power grab – and further violence
Rogério da Silva was caught in an operation involving 3,000 troops and police but residents of Rocinha, the favela he sought to control, remain on edge
The high-profile arrest this week of Rio drug lord Rogério da Silva – known as Rogério 157 – was not celebrated in Rocinha, the favela he once fought to dominate.
Triumphant police officers posed with Da Silva for selfies after he was caught in an operation involving 3,000 troops and police. But in Rocinha the mood was of uncertainty, not celebration.
Many expressed concern that more violence would rock a community that has barely known peace since being taken over by security forces in 2011 in a “pacification” programme which has since fallen apart.
“Everyone is apprehensive,” said a small business owner, one of a number of residents who requested anonymity for fear of reprisal. “Everybody is waiting for something and nobody knows what will come.”

Brexit: May's EU deal not binding, says David Davis
The UK's Brexit negotiator David Davis has described the deal struck by Theresa May to move to the next phase of talks as a "statement of intent".
He said it was not "legally enforceable" and if the UK failed to get a trade deal with the EU then it would not pay its divorce bill.
But he stressed that the UK was committed to keeping a "frictionless and invisible" Irish border.
And it would "find a way" to do this if there was a "no deal" Brexit.
The Brexit secretary also stressed that the odds of the UK exiting without a deal had "dropped dramatically" following Friday's joint EU-UK statement in Brussels.
And he spelled out the kind of trade deal he wanted with the EU, describing it as "Canada plus plus plus".

Venezuela opposition banned from running in 2018 election
Venezuela's president, Nicolas Maduro, says the country's main opposition parties are banned from taking part in next year's presidential election.
He said only parties which took part in Sunday's mayoral polls would be able to contest the presidency.
Leaders from the Justice First, Popular Will and Democratic Action parties boycotted the vote and said the electoral system is biased.
President Maduro insists the Venezuelan system is entirely trustworthy.
In a speech on Sunday, he said the opposition parties had "disappeared from the political map".
"A party that has not participated today and has called for the boycott of the elections can't participate anymore", he said.

French opposition elects hard-right leaning leader
Laurent Wauquiez took 74.6% of Les Républicains votes, on an anti-immigration, anti-welfare platform that critics say plays into Front National hands
France’s bitterly divided conservative opposition party has elected a new hardline leader, marking a move away from centre ground toward the territory of the far right.
Wauquiez has run a hawkish leadership campaign, running on an anti-immigration and anti-welfare programme, and has worried some party heavyweights with his possible “porosity” to far-right Front National ideas. He refused to call on LR supporters to back Emmanuel Macron against the FN’s leader, Marine Le Pen, in the second round of the presidential vote in May.
